Environmental and/or land-use planning with or for Indigenous peoples is not well studied. This is true for the First Nations in Canada as well. In this article, we review what literature exists with respect to environmental/land-use planning for Indigenous peoples and then review the types of land-use plans that First Nations in Canada have created on their own behalf. We conclude that planners, First Nations and governments need to turn greater attention to this understudied issue and advocate for the development of a field of Indigenous planning, which is planning created by Indigenous peoples to meet their own purposes and needs rather than pursuing planning done to First Nations.
